Ignite the Seven Cannons

Guthrie, of the Cocteau Twins, produced after Lawrence failed to recruit Tom Verlaine. Elizabeth Fraser sings backing vocals on tracks 2 and 5. Martin Duffy, then 16, was brought in as Deebank's replacement and appears on tracks 2, 7 and 10; it is the only album with both. The tracks are credited to Lawrence and Deebank. The original vinyl dropped "Serpent Shade" to make side two symmetrical, and the 2018 reissue remixed six songs, with Lawrence and John A. Rivers, and added "Elegance in D". Lawrence said he was never happy with Guthrie's vocal mix, and Wikipedia has him saying Guthrie kind of ruined some of his best songs; the Vinyl Factory heard songs lost in an ethereal swirl. AllMusic gave 3.5 stars and Record Collector's Oregano Rathbone 4 of 5. We found no studio or recording dates.
